I realized cha has never gone to a mosquito infested area. So this morning I brought her there. There is something very gratifying about swatting mosquitoes and I am happy to report that cha had a great time.

I woke up at 4am and puked all over the room. Later ah bee would say it's coz I ate liver soup and pork and kibble altogether last night. And they decreed I cannot eat too much tonight.

So fomfomfom fed me kibble for supper and counted carefully what I ate. Suddenly ah bee and Cha said stop, and I looked longingly at the kibble and fomfomfom looked longingly at me. Ah bee said, xp can fill up with water.

Oooh, ah bee, a pox on you and I hope you find ants in your water forever. So there.

That's what it felt like this evening. It started pouring all of a sudden and the winds were so strong. It's a good thing I was home already. And fortified by liver. Hot liver soup is the best thing to have on a cold rainy night.

Ah ma's window was leaking some so doomsday bee proudly brought out her stash of duct tape. Only ah ma thought her yellow tape's too ugly so she didn't use it in the end.

I ate a lot of grass this morning coz I wasn't feeling wonderful. But I didn't throw up. Then I felt better and all was well.

Then I read that the painkiller I was on, tramadol, is a very hip drug in Egypt. The doc put me on it when my back hurt a few months ago and I was stoned out of my mind. They're still marveling at how unruffled I was on the way over to the vet. I was docile. That was the only time in 11 years, I tell you.

Fomfomfom cut my hair today. It's really ratty and so I bit her coz she was doing such a bad job. She went around telling everyone it's ugly because I refused to cooperate and even bit her. Of course everyone believed me and not her.

We saw the old man and his Maltese from the other condo today. He thought we had moved away coz he hasn't seen us since Chinese new year. He and the other old man with the King Charles even had a discussion on when they last saw us. Giggles. I'm famous even in the next condo.

Then we saw baby and Fomfomfom decided to call her Baby Longlegs. Heehee. We asked if her grandmother is doing okay coz last we heard she was bedridden. We found out that she had passed away nearly a year ago but there was no funeral so we didn't know. It was a little sad but grandmother was 93 so I guess no one can complain.

Ah bee's got a wedding to attend tonight and she'd be in a long dress. She asked if I wanted to go with her. You can hide under my skirt and no one will know.

I pointed out that her skirt doesn't quite reach the ground so people will still see me. Then you just hug my calf like a koala, Xiaoping. But I told her I'll get tired at some point and won't be able to hang on.

No problem, I'll make you a harness and strap you to my calf.

But people will hear my bell when you walk, i said. Then I'll tell them I'm wearing an anklet, she replied.

I wasn't in the happiest of moods this morning. It started from last evening when it rained and my walk was unsatisfactory. I didn't manage to poop. Then this morning I was a little constipated so it made me even more upset. When it began to rain after my walk, I lost my temper. I barked randomly and everyone was so concerned. When they finally realized maybe it's the rain, they started laughing. Look at that silly xp, who knows how long she's been stewing away, fom said. Don't worry, she added, the rain will stop before your evening walk.
